In this section we answer the most frequently asked questions. Is your question not here? Reach out, we are happy to help you!
Therefore, we can schedule a coffee with you to tell you the ins-and-outs of becoming a full-timer at STAR. We can set you up with:
The longer answer: Being a study association, STAR always prioritizes your study above anything else.
In the past, and also during this Board year, there have always been students who did not yet complete their Bachelor, or were still in their second year. Being a STAR full-timer, you work on specific project, and you can schedule your own time. We will help you to create a schedule in which you can both focus on your study, and develop yourself by becoming a full-timer at STAR.
However, it is important to note that becoming a full-timer is mostly an investment in the future. During a full-time year you will learn heaps of hard- and soft-skills that allow you to develop yourself. Hence, the financial compensation offered by STAR is lower than working a full-time job.

There are some key differences between becoming a full-timer at STAR versus doing a e.g. an internship. During a call, we’d be happy to explain these to you in person. In the end, it all depends on how you want to develop yourself.

RSM Dean Ansgar Richter about joining the STAR Board:
“Time spent at university as a student isn’t only for acquiring knowledge, or for specialising in your skills. And it’s not just for preparing for a job or for your career.
In fact, one of the fundamental goals of your academic education is so you can develop yourself personally. You will learn how to think critically, to take responsibility, and how you can become a force for positive change in the world. It might not be obvious to you right now, but in fact a lot of your personal development takes place outside of the classroom. Student life is where you can first try out your new self-awareness, your sense of responsibility, and your critical thinking among your peers.
This is why student associations are a vital part of your university life and your university education. There is lifelong benefit to making this part of your life while you are at university. If you have the opportunity to serve in one of the board positions in the STAR Association, then take it. You should seriously consider applying because I am convinced that it offers great opportunities.
With my best regards,
Ansgar Richter
Dean Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University”
